Abstract

This chapter addresses the evolving role of common factors in psychotherapy, emphasising the historical and ongoing debates around the empirical validation of therapeutic outcomes. The chapter explores the dichotomy between empirically supported treatments (ESTs) and the common factors approach, highlighting the significance of the therapeutic alliance and the customization of treatment to patient needs. The integration of evidence-based practices (EBPs) into psychotherapy is discussed as a strategy to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice. The chapter underscores the necessity of personalising therapeutic interventions based on patient preferences and characteristics, advocating for a flexible, patient-centred approach to enhance therapeutic effectiveness. This comprehensive analysis provides a foundation for understanding the complexities and methodological considerations essential for advancing psychotherapy as a scientifically grounded and empirically validated clinical practice.
